Speaker 5: Red Rage. Michael Carter, Cardinals running back. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 5: Thanks for having I'm a holidays going for you so far, Michael.

Speaker 7: And I got my girlfriend Brianna right here.
Speaker 1: Brian, how are you going? Okay? Wonderful?
Speaker 7: Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 5: That's outstanding. Uh So Michael too. I mean you got
Speaker 5: two games to go, and based on what I've seen
Speaker 5: our practice this week, nobody's letting these two opportunities go. Yeah,
Speaker 5: guys are ready to bring it, aren't they.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, there's no reason to. It's a bless them to
Speaker 6: play in the NFL and in any capacity. So the last
Speaker 6: two opportunities are are obvious. Obviously they can be momentum
Speaker 6: to a new season. But you know, also with that
Speaker 6: being said, we have our own lives that.
Speaker 7: We have to play for at the at the at
Speaker 7: the forefront of things as well.
Speaker 6: So and you are, you are your film. You know,
Speaker 6: you are what you put on tape. So, uh it
Speaker 6: means a lot to us individually and as a team.
Speaker 1: So, Michael, talk a little bit about your season right now.
Speaker 1: This is your fourth year, correct, yes, your fourth year.
Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about how this season has gone
Speaker 1: for you personally, if you don't mind.
Speaker 7: It was hard.
Speaker 6: It's been hard because I want to play a lot
Speaker 6: more than I have been. But I'm very blessed to
Speaker 6: be in Arizona. And what a time to no better
Speaker 6: time than the president. They go get the job done,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean? Like on a Saturday night
Speaker 6: primetime game. Kyen Williams is one of my good friends.
Speaker 6: I trained him in the off season in Florida, so
Speaker 6: it'll be a fun matchup ATLA is one of my
Speaker 6: favorite places right now. It's for my girlfriends from so
Speaker 6: I kind of like it over there, okay by sunset.
Speaker 5: So and when you get into games, I mean, I'm
Speaker 5: thinking to this time a year ago at Pittsburgh against
Speaker 5: the Niners at Philly in particular. I mean, you don't
Speaker 5: lack for confidence, even though it's late in the season.
Speaker 5: But I mean what you did last year and what
Speaker 5: you put on film this time a year ago, how
Speaker 5: does that sort of bolster the way you're thinking in
Speaker 5: your confidence level this year.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Confidence, at least on the field. Confidence, it's never an issue.
Speaker 6: I feel like, well, you know, we're all, you know, workingfield.
Speaker 7: I think that, well, I know that I'm a good player.
Speaker 6: I know I'm a good player, and I've shown it
Speaker 6: time and time again from the time that I was
Speaker 6: a little baby to and in spurts last week, you
Speaker 6: know what I mean. So it's it's about the mental game.
Speaker 6: I get my.
Speaker 7: Confidence from first.
Speaker 6: Knowing that that you know created, you know, God's image,
Speaker 6: And after that it's about the work I put in
Speaker 6: the offseason.
Speaker 7: I work harder than anybody, I really do.
Speaker 6: So all you can do is work hard, and then
Speaker 6: you know, when the opportunity to meets the preparation, you know,
Speaker 6: something good happens.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I'm with you on that one. Right there.
Speaker 1: Talk a little bit, Michael, if you will, about where
Speaker 1: you feel your game needs to evolve and what you
Speaker 1: feel like you do well right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I think you know, there's a stereotype
Speaker 6: when I when I left New York, somebody said I
Speaker 6: couldn't block. So whoever said that, whatever, But uh, I
Speaker 6: feel like it's something that I really I really even
Speaker 6: honed it on now this year because.
Speaker 7: I love it. I really love the block. I love
Speaker 7: pass protection. I love to do it. I always have
Speaker 7: my tape says so as well.
Speaker 6: So that and along with them, there's also another stereotype
Speaker 6: that I wasn't like really open to be like returning
Speaker 6: kicks and stuff like that. That's something I've always did,
Speaker 6: you know, until I got to the NFL, because I
Speaker 6: was never asked to, because I was always the starter.
Speaker 6: So now I'm in Arizona, it's it's a it's a
Speaker 6: new it's a new gig, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: So you kind of have to adapt to what you're
Speaker 7: actually doing.
Speaker 6: I've done that, so I feel I feel as though
Speaker 6: the biggest part of my game is being versatile and
Speaker 6: whatever I'm actually do, whether it's run cat's block or
Speaker 6: return or run down and I have to freaking go
Speaker 6: block somebody on a punt return team or anything.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just love it playing.
Speaker 1: You know. That is one of the things I really
Speaker 1: appre about you a lot. I've seen you develop in
Speaker 1: terms of blitz pick up and you being a kind
Speaker 1: of a diminutive running back compared to some of these guys,
Speaker 1: some of these blitzers that are coming out, I've seen
Speaker 1: you stick them right in the face, as.
Speaker 6: You're saying, And I love to And that goes back
Speaker 6: to all the way back to where I went to
Speaker 6: high school, at where I grew up at. You know,
Speaker 6: it's a it's a we appreciate physicality and violence, you
Speaker 6: know what I mean. So just being able to carry
Speaker 6: that and you know, carry down my shoulder. In the NFL,
Speaker 6: where not everybody gets to go to and play, I
Speaker 6: get to represent the people that to help me get.
Speaker 5: When you get in against Carolina like you did last week, right,
Speaker 5: five carries, five catches on five targets, you had a
Speaker 5: long of eighteen. Just how much more into the flow
Speaker 5: do you get from the first quarter to the fourth quarter?
Speaker 5: And you know, what's that feel like to get that
Speaker 5: first action of the year. And what do you feel
Speaker 5: like by the end of the game.
Speaker 6: Yeah, beginning of the game, I tried to I guess
Speaker 6: I was calming myself down so much because I just
Speaker 6: didn't want to be anxious, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: But it's been a minute since I played ball in
Speaker 6: a in a game capacity. But I felt great because
Speaker 6: my family was at the game, and so I always
Speaker 6: just look up in the section one seventeen wherever I
Speaker 6: put him out. I get my confidence from from whenever
Speaker 6: I see him. When I do this right here and
Speaker 6: then they do it back, it's that time. So I
Speaker 6: feel like I feel like I jumped right into it.
Speaker 6: My first round was pretty good. Bad exchange. I'm gonna
Speaker 6: tick it on the chin. But then after that, you know,
Speaker 6: we kind of got it going a little bit.
Speaker 1: So we talk a little bit about that exchange right there.
Speaker 6: I don't think there was anything that I had to
Speaker 6: do with like lack of reps or anything. You don't
Speaker 6: think so no, because me and I, me and me
Speaker 6: and Kyler, I didn't have a million reps of that
Speaker 6: due you know, So it's not even It wasn't even.
Speaker 6: That was really probably my far was a little bit
Speaker 6: a little bit antsy to get going. I've seen a
Speaker 6: huge crease, so I it was probably my fault.
Speaker 1: Do you do you do you think you reached for
Speaker 1: the ball? Is that? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 7: Or yeah, well not reach. I think that maybe my
Speaker 7: pocket wasn't big enough, wasn't big enough with your.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like, oh my gosh, it's amazing, what a great opportunity.
Speaker 7: And then I look crazy because.
Speaker 5: Yo, you know right, well, look there's two games ago
Speaker 5: and Jonathan Gannon, who always raised about your game, he
Speaker 5: calls you an energy giver. Whenever we bring up Michael Carter,
Speaker 5: he says energy giver and then he goes on from there.
Speaker 5: But here's the big picture on the big red Jonathan
Speaker 5: Gannon and the fact you have two games to go.
Speaker 8: I'm excited for these two opportunities, one on the road
Speaker 8: versus a playoff team and then one a team that's
Speaker 8: been winning our division for a long time. So you know,
Speaker 8: last year we weren't playing for anything, right, We made
Speaker 8: a lot of hay and got a lot better and
Speaker 8: it and we did a lot of good things. You
Speaker 8: know last year that I thought that we built on
Speaker 8: and followed us a little bit into this year.
Speaker 5: Look, yesterday you saw the Christmas games, right, those teams
Speaker 5: had the whole Nations TV window to themselves. You guys
Speaker 5: have that on Saturday night, right, And and I never played,
Speaker 5: So you tell me how much does that amp up
Speaker 5: things when you when you know you're in the national spot.
Speaker 6: But yeah, you know, the coaches, I've had multiple coaches,
Speaker 6: you know, they say that primetime games and games that
Speaker 6: are you're the only one on TV. They don't they
Speaker 6: don't mean any less, They don't mean anymore than just
Speaker 6: another game.
Speaker 7: But that's coach talk, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: Yeah, anytime that you get the chance to play in
Speaker 6: front of not only fans, but all your peers, because
Speaker 6: they have nothing to do except for watch you. It's
Speaker 6: a big deal because not only do you want to
Speaker 6: put your best forward for all the time.
Speaker 7: You know, when you put on a show in front of.
Speaker 6: Your peers, it it allows them to see you in
Speaker 6: a different light maybe than what they did before. You know,
Speaker 6: the casual fan is gonna say, oh, this fan or
Speaker 6: this player is good, this player is not. Well, you
Speaker 6: have a good game on the prime time and they
Speaker 6: think you're like the best player in the world. Now
Speaker 6: they kind of have fans work so and your peers
Speaker 6: is always a respecting when it comes to playing. So
Speaker 6: you want to play the hardest and you know, have
Speaker 6: your player reflect that you love the game.
Speaker 1: Where do you think this team you're just listening to
Speaker 1: JJ right there. Where do you think this team has
Speaker 1: gotten better from last year? Where have you seen this
Speaker 1: team grow?
Speaker 6: You know, what I really like about this team is
Speaker 6: that we're really violent. We're violent, like really violent, and
Speaker 6: we're we're assignment sound and we played together.
Speaker 7: We've gotten really close over the year.
Speaker 6: Adversity always, you know, strengthens the group, and I feel
Speaker 6: like that's where I feel like we've.
Speaker 7: Probably grown in the most, Like we've gotten closer.
Speaker 5: Are you a believer that the run game wears down
Speaker 5: a defense. Yes, and do you see it in the
Speaker 5: third and fourth quarter, Yes, because.
Speaker 7: It hits the hits.
Speaker 6: They don't be as hard towards the end of the game.
Speaker 6: Whenever you whenever you, you you leaning on them instead
Speaker 6: of being leaned on.
Speaker 5: So, I mean you see it just down the film
Speaker 5: sometimes right all of a sudden, Oh, maybe some of
Speaker 5: those guys aren't getting off black earlier.
Speaker 6: It's something that we call it in the running back room,
Speaker 6: turned down service. So I see you on the film
Speaker 6: turn it down, hits it, or you could have made
Speaker 6: the big hit, or but you backed up and you
Speaker 6: let your teammate make it.
Speaker 7: That's turned down service.
Speaker 1: You played bigger than you are too.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because I didn't know I was. I was undersize
Speaker 6: to someone else told me, I love it.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 5: We continue just getting rolling. In fact with running back
Speaker 5: Michael Carter is the Big Red Rage presented by Santan
Speaker 5: Forrn and Gilbert live from Trophy and Chandler located on
Speaker 5: Queen Creek Road between Price and Dobson.
Speaker 3: Carter the loan back Murray takes bakes the hand off
Speaker 3: setting up in the pocket checks it down to your side.
Speaker 3: Caught by Carter at the forty, slips and tackle half
Speaker 3: the fifty and has a first down to the forty
Speaker 3: four yard line of the Panthers.
Speaker 4: Check the ball down to Michael Carter. How many times
Speaker 4: do we see Michael Carter make a play for the
Speaker 4: Amazona Cardinals when he gets the opportunity the blood.
Speaker 9: Mike's just a professional, That's what he is. Man, He's
Speaker 9: expected to be ready to go at any time, and
Speaker 9: that's what he did. And so, uh yeah, first of all,
Speaker 9: Mike's faith is what drives him. And then again, he's
Speaker 9: just a professional. I mean, he's been around, he knows
Speaker 9: how it goes, and he's always ready to go. So
Speaker 9: he is a professional professional. That's the best way I
Speaker 9: could describe Mike.
Speaker 7: So.
Speaker 5: Autrey Denson, Cardinals running backs coach. Earlier today here on
Speaker 5: the Big Red Rage, Michael Carter is our guest, all
Speaker 5: presented by santan Ford and Gilbert We are santan Ford Live,
Speaker 5: a Trophy and Chandler located on Queen Creek Road between
Speaker 5: Price and Dobson. Audrey Dentson is still like one of
Speaker 5: the leading ball carriers in the history of Notre Dame football.
Speaker 7: Number one all the time?
Speaker 5: Is he really?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Okay, so it sounds like he's made you guys aware
Speaker 5: of that fact.
Speaker 6: Well, actually, I think James was the one that made
Speaker 6: me wear He doesn't like to talk about him, so
Speaker 6: I'll call him a d but for sure.
Speaker 7: But we also call him at for all time.
Speaker 5: So he's so he's not talking any trash about Notre
Speaker 5: Dame right now.
Speaker 6: Okay, they be Indiana, he's feeling good, I guess. But
Speaker 6: Georgia is a different team, so listen. I personally think
Speaker 6: Notre Dame's gonna be Georgia too, though, oh you do.
Speaker 1: Why do you think that's gonna happen?
Speaker 6: Because I think that Georgia had a hard time with
Speaker 6: the zone read against Georgia Tech.
Speaker 7: Their defense is also really good. Notre Dame's defense really good.
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go.
Speaker 5: This is this a good time to ask him about
Speaker 5: the Bill Bellichich and uh.
Speaker 7: College football runs through Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Oh no, oh no, okay, So Bill Belichick, get your
Speaker 1: your thoughts. When you heard Bill Belichick was going to
Speaker 1: be the head coach at North Carolina.
Speaker 7: You might as well just start signing us for the
Speaker 7: rings now, you know what I mean?
Speaker 6: Like college football, College football runs through Chapel Hill, Bill, Baby,
Speaker 6: Let's go.
Speaker 5: You think he's gonna transition to the college game.
Speaker 7: I know he is.
Speaker 6: Let's go, Baby, Taboo Tapple Hill, North Carolina Tar Hills.
Speaker 6: You know, we don't need to transfer portal. We developed
Speaker 6: the young cast, and we developed the young cast and
Speaker 6: they don't hit the portal because we got the type
Speaker 6: of campus that you don't ever want to leave whenever
Speaker 6: you enroll.
Speaker 4: Well, it is beautiful Chapel Hill, There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: That is beautiful right there. But it's interesting because Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick was my head coach for two years in the
Speaker 1: NFL back in Cleveland. Yeah, okay, I know right now,
Speaker 1: he did, and he was actually young back then, right,
Speaker 1: But so it it hits me in a weird kind
Speaker 1: of way when I think of him being a college
Speaker 1: football coach and not an NFL coach. An NFL coach
Speaker 1: to me was the quintessential NFL coach.
Speaker 7: It was.
Speaker 1: He was a bit of a sociopath in terms of,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not going to ask you about your family.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pretend like I like you. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna bring coach. He was just about football. I'm
Speaker 1: just going to coach football. That's what I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: right there. And I expect you to do your job.
Speaker 1: That's what he was all about. There's got to be
Speaker 1: a little bit of relationship building when you're talking about
Speaker 1: at the college level. Do you not think so much?
Speaker 7: I think so? I think so. I think how do
Speaker 7: you think he's gonna do it?
Speaker 1: All that?
Speaker 6: I think he's personable guy. I feel like we've seen
Speaker 6: him on TV, you know what I.
Speaker 1: Mean, which I gotta tell you his his image on TV.
Speaker 1: I'm like, coach, who are you.
Speaker 7: To say that I was running us after practicing?
Speaker 6: No, So I think that he's gonna have to take
Speaker 6: some of that media personality his true personality. And I
Speaker 6: got kind of transferred into the recruiting and but his
Speaker 6: girlfriend's keeping him young.
Speaker 5: So okay, oh man, you know what, this might be
Speaker 5: a good time for a SoundBite. Here's Jonathan Gannon how
Speaker 5: Michael Carter has handled his role this year.
Speaker 8: He's got really good character and he's a team first guy.
Speaker 8: So and that's the guy that he loves to play football.
Speaker 8: So his role of being where he was at this year.
Speaker 8: I thought he took it in stride and maximized his role,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. And I'm grateful we have him.
Speaker 8: But he's a really good teammate. He's a co editor,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. So if he can put
Speaker 8: the helmet on, and he wants to put the helmet on,
Speaker 8: what do.
Speaker 5: You think JG sees in you as a player as
Speaker 5: a running back? We know is he wants guys who
Speaker 5: are deadly serious about football right first and foremost. And
Speaker 5: what do you think you've shown him or hope you've
Speaker 5: shown him this year?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's the first thing we have in common,
Speaker 6: is that were both very serious about the game and
Speaker 6: also he caused me the energy give He definitely is
Speaker 6: as well. So I think, you know, we probably have
Speaker 6: more coming than we've talked about before. But I think, well,
Speaker 6: I know I've shown him consistency since I've gotten here.
Speaker 6: I've been able to not only in the games, but
Speaker 6: in practice, in the meetings, and you know just how
Speaker 6: I move every day with my teammates, coaches, the janitors, Armando, Armando.
Speaker 7: Uh, everybody.
Speaker 6: You're not sure everybody would respect and I get I
Speaker 6: do you give me a job?
Speaker 7: I'm gonna get it done, and I'm gonna do it well.
Speaker 1: So how much opportunity do you think, Michael, you're gonna
Speaker 1: get over these last two games? How much opportunity do
Speaker 1: you think you're gonna go?
Speaker 7: I don't know. I don't know. I definitely can't see
Speaker 7: the future.
Speaker 6: But I hope it's like a lot, like a lot
Speaker 6: to make up for the last few weeks.
Speaker 7: So I hope it's a lot.
Speaker 5: Because when we look at your background, I mean, there's
Speaker 5: no doubt you can play. There's little doubt as to
Speaker 5: why you believe you can play when you were what
Speaker 5: all acc first team, right, you are thirteam All American.
Speaker 5: I mean you go back to high school. Let's just
Speaker 5: talk about high school for a minute. Is this a
Speaker 5: type out? Was this really your senior year or is
Speaker 5: this your whole career? Twenty five hundred rushing yards, thirty
Speaker 5: four hundred dollar purpose yards almost and forty five touchdowns. Yeah,
Speaker 5: just your senior year.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I didn't do it alone. Though I didn't do it alone.
Speaker 6: My little brother was right there and he was making
Speaker 6: sure I was. I was staying locked in. You know,
Speaker 6: A funny story, quick story. So we're in the state
Speaker 6: final four game to stay in the semi finals. Yep,
Speaker 6: and the rest are kind of hosting us who playing
Speaker 6: leg gifts and right, so.
Speaker 7: To throw a flag on my little brother, right, guess
Speaker 7: what he does with the flag? Throw? Was it back
Speaker 7: at Durro?
Speaker 6: Oh no, but this is wider. But this is because
Speaker 6: my brother. Great guy, let's not painting with the ode.
Speaker 1: Okay, did somebody else throw a flag? Is he threw
Speaker 1: the flag?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 6: He threw the fla He threw the flag of my
Speaker 6: brother because you know, my brother was up sick. Because
Speaker 6: you know, let the players play, you know what I mean,
Speaker 6: the players play, and the rest want to get involved.
Speaker 7: You know, the.
Speaker 6: Volunteer stripes and you know it's a high school game
Speaker 6: that the kids play.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this what those kind of
Speaker 1: numbers right there? We got this from our producer right here,
Speaker 1: Jim Omund. He said, you were the Florida offensive player
Speaker 1: of the year. That was according to USA Today. I
Speaker 1: was okay, So who were you recruited by Michael?
Speaker 7: A lot of teams, a lot of schools. I be crazy.
Speaker 7: My first offer was in ninth grade.
Speaker 1: I'm was the ninth grade.
Speaker 7: I'm on the way to a baseball game. I was
Speaker 7: good at baseball.
Speaker 6: Everybody batted three ten as a freshman, Okay, but.
Speaker 1: They weren't offered in baseball, right, Nah?
Speaker 7: Football, yeah no, I was.
Speaker 6: Everybody know I wanted to play football, so it was
Speaker 6: just no reason to recruit me for baseball.
Speaker 1: So but.
Speaker 6: I get offered right before a baseball game Tennessee. I
Speaker 6: got off the phone. Robert good lets me, who ended
Speaker 6: up being my running back coach at North Carolina.
Speaker 7: Okay, my junior year.
Speaker 6: Okay, that small world, but he called me of me
Speaker 6: and I was just I couldn't even think about baseball.
Speaker 6: So I was pretty much just like I probably want
Speaker 6: to go to Tennessee so bad.
Speaker 7: But then they were kind.
Speaker 6: Of running out. They were kind of running weird operation there.
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, what about so how many offers.
Speaker 7: A twenty five or something like that. I had a
Speaker 7: twenty five, but they were just hitting out offers.
Speaker 6: Like when I was in high school, we had one
Speaker 6: dude had one hundred offers in my class, Like, oh.
Speaker 7: Yeah, like, what are we doing. We're not even scounting
Speaker 7: this kid?
Speaker 1: Did he ever make it to the NFL?
Speaker 7: I don't know, I don't know, Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 7: I hope so you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Of course we all do.
Speaker 5: So I'm seeing here. You grew up Navar Okay, and
Speaker 5: Navarre Beach is where they filmed some of the scenes
Speaker 5: from Jaws to Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they used to have a Jaws like a little
Speaker 6: Jaws billboard right at school. But uh, kind of an
Speaker 6: irrelevant fact though, but shout out everybody who enjoys that
Speaker 6: Jaws movie.
Speaker 1: What what? What was?
Speaker 5: What was life like? And what is it like in
Speaker 5: thevar Because you were born in Japan?
Speaker 7: Yeah I was.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 7: My parents are an air force Wow.
Speaker 1: Oh there it is right there, Paul, That's what it was.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Okinawa, Japan, Condina Air Force Base.
Speaker 1: Okay, now you have you have you were a toddler though, right,
Speaker 1: you have no memory of Okinawa whatsoever? No, just the pictures, okay,
Speaker 1: just the pictures right there. Have you ever been back to.
Speaker 7: No, I'll go sometime.
Speaker 1: You do have a desire to go back there?
Speaker 7: Okay?
Speaker 1: Cool?
Speaker 5: So I know you've been asked this before. Florida heat
Speaker 5: versus Arizona heat. What do you think comparing contrast?
Speaker 7: I think one? Do I desire more?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 7: I think? Uh, well, just because I'm used to it.
Speaker 7: I think the humidity is like I feel.
Speaker 6: More comfortable with the heat here is alright, because it's
Speaker 6: like you just walk outside and you may not sweat,
Speaker 6: but like you're just gonna start getting dry and like chap.
Speaker 6: Your lips are chapped, and so I have three sticks
Speaker 6: of chepstick in my room right now.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that is one of the things I love
Speaker 1: about it though, just the fact he can go it's.
Speaker 7: So dry, yeah, so dry. It is bright. It's so
Speaker 7: bright here.
Speaker 1: It's so bright, of course, But at the same time,
Speaker 1: I love the This is a weird sensation that you
Speaker 1: get and you know you were in Arizona when you
Speaker 1: get it because of how dry it is, and you
Speaker 1: get that cool sunshine on your skin. It's an awesome feeling.
Speaker 7: I don't mind it at all. I would rather be
Speaker 7: here than.
Speaker 5: Flowing partner, Jersey, I'm gonna ask you about your high
Speaker 5: school running back coach, but first let's hear from your
Speaker 5: NFL running back coach again. Here's Autrey Dnson. This is
Speaker 5: from The Big Red Rage back in February of this year,
Speaker 5: when we asked him what he likes about you as
Speaker 5: a player and a person. Michael Carter.
Speaker 9: Michael Carter has a passion for playing the game, and
Speaker 9: when you watch him, he's fun to watch because he's
Speaker 9: having fun. And so one of the things I did
Speaker 9: for the guys I don't want saying this is I
Speaker 9: got him a frame picture each of them, just something
Speaker 9: to remember and my wife. The first thing that jumps
Speaker 9: out on him is as he's running, he has a
Speaker 9: smile so big on his face, and so that's it's
Speaker 9: funny that that is Mike. He smiles and plays like
Speaker 9: during the game. He is smiling as he is playing,
Speaker 9: and that's just his passion for the game.
Speaker 5: Is that happened with frequency?
Speaker 7: Yeah, a lot.
Speaker 6: Like I'm probably like one in every three or four
Speaker 6: pictures I'm smiling in on the field though.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't see a lot of that. You don't
Speaker 1: see a lot of guys smiling.
Speaker 7: Yeah, because we have some fun. Surely competing, they don't
Speaker 7: be having fun out there. Well, I feel like some guy,
Speaker 7: you know.
Speaker 6: I've never been like a raw, raw guy, like you
Speaker 6: know that the big circle everybody makes like we gotta
Speaker 6: step on that.
Speaker 7: No, I'm goreoad.
Speaker 6: Just let's just have fun. Let's line it up and
Speaker 6: see who's the best, though, We're always gonna do that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, first, does that sort of does that mess up
Speaker 5: defenders at all? Like mentally? I mean, does that freak
Speaker 5: him out a little bit? But this guy's smiling. He's
Speaker 5: just ripping off a nine yard run.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it hurts.
Speaker 1: Okay, I've got to ask you this right here. Our
Speaker 1: producer gave us this question right here as well. I'm
Speaker 1: going to read you this. This is you. This is
Speaker 1: a quote you said, I really love football, and I
Speaker 1: don't play for what it could give me. I play
Speaker 1: because I really enjoy it. And I know that because
Speaker 1: I've been tested. That's from you right there. That was
Speaker 1: a quote. What did you mean by that?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 6: The game is full of highs and lows, ups and downs,
Speaker 6: and it's a it's very let's do It's very similar
Speaker 6: to life, right, So, I think that it's the ultimate
Speaker 6: team game and you can't do anything alone, just like life.
Speaker 7: And I was everybody plays for the you know, we're
Speaker 7: not everybody.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of guys I played with teammates that
Speaker 6: really are like, Okay, well, I want this out of it.
Speaker 6: I want to make this much like as soon as
Speaker 6: I get this much, I'm done, And you know, in
Speaker 6: my eyes, I was I was like, I always was like,
Speaker 6: what are you all talking about? Because I don't Ever,
Speaker 6: I didn't really play for that. I played because when
Speaker 6: I was young, I just love to go outside in
Speaker 6: the yard and play my paws put me in the
Speaker 6: in the helmet at four years old. I almost quit
Speaker 6: four though, you know what I mean, Like you yeah,
Speaker 6: So my dad was like, yo, like all right, like
Speaker 6: if you don't like it. After after the end of
Speaker 6: the game it's half time, he's talking about if you
Speaker 6: don't like it, and again, well we'll stop, we won't
Speaker 6: play no One and uh driving fast. But I feel
Speaker 6: in love with the game. And from there it's been
Speaker 6: this uh, this uh, this relationship that I've just grown
Speaker 6: and grown and grown and grown to the point where
Speaker 6: at one point it was affecting my mood because I
Speaker 6: loved it so much, so I had I had to
Speaker 6: fix that.
Speaker 1: And then.
Speaker 6: I just I just it's the adversity that you know,
Speaker 6: when you get something taken away from you, like say
Speaker 6: it for example, this year, you know, I had like
Speaker 6: a big bonus that I would have had, I would
Speaker 6: have made a team initially, and you know there's conspiracies
Speaker 6: out there, but I gotta take it away from me, right,
Speaker 6: So do I love the game? If I didn't love
Speaker 6: the game, I wouldn't have played the shop, probably to
Speaker 6: throw up or do something else.
Speaker 7: But then it's like, for what you know, it's.
Speaker 1: Kind of like football is such a great game. But
Speaker 1: they say this all the time. Football is a great
Speaker 1: game because it truly is a metaphor for life. I mean,
Speaker 1: how many times the game? How many times in life
Speaker 1: do you get knocked down and you got to get
Speaker 1: back up? Right, Michael? I mean, there's a better metaphor
Speaker 1: than that than playing the game of football. It's one
Speaker 1: of the things I love the most. You literally are
Speaker 1: getting knocked down and you got to get up and
Speaker 1: do it again and again and again and again. That
Speaker 1: is the real test of resiliency, is it not? Myself?
Speaker 5: Sounds like your dad kept coaching you all the way
Speaker 5: through your career through high school and.
Speaker 6: My dad my dad was deployed when I was a
Speaker 6: little younger, but my dad coached me in high school,
Speaker 6: maybe not my last two years.
Speaker 7: We had this dude I won't say his name.
Speaker 6: Sophomore year in high school, he was a liar, and
Speaker 6: he wasn't a good coach. And uh one time he
Speaker 6: told me when to State championship with Gang Green in
Speaker 6: his foot, So I kind of kind of school.
Speaker 5: I went to, Yeah, you need the school system, you
Speaker 5: need a lie to that what you're saying, Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean, I wouldn't want to go into a private school.
Speaker 6: They don't play roof football over there.
Speaker 1: So I was trying to tell you how tough he was.
Speaker 6: He was, Oh, I played with Gang Green in my
Speaker 6: foot in a toy miniscus two rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, that's yeah.
Speaker 7: Kind of school.
Speaker 6: I went to, you know what I mean, don't need
Speaker 6: coach Coach Smith, Coach Adams, that coach Adams.
Speaker 5: That that prepared you for New York City probably in
Speaker 5: some ways, right, you know, with the whole Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, with the Gang Green order line.
Speaker 1: So earlier, earlier, you mentioned Kyron Williams. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: Kyron Williams, the court Boys. He having a great year,
Speaker 1: my brother. He is having a fantastic year. He's getting
Speaker 1: the opportunity just like he did last year as well,
Speaker 1: and he is capitalizing on that. Over thirteen hundred yards
Speaker 1: rushing right now, Pauli Kyron Williams just off the charts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: tell me a little bit about the friendship that you
Speaker 1: have with him.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I played him in college, so we couldn't start
Speaker 6: off as like you know, ops right, you know I
Speaker 6: wasn't like his friend at first, I didn't know him.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but whenever he got down.
Speaker 6: I trained in South Florida, so I came out of
Speaker 6: get in front of him, and then whenever he came
Speaker 6: out obviously, you know when you're playing ball, you know
Speaker 6: you're familiar with other people's game, and so when I
Speaker 6: met him, it was like instant. And what actually like
Speaker 6: kind of like got us off on the right foot
Speaker 6: was that we both are worth at like our work.
Speaker 6: We both love to work, we both love to Grindlet's
Speaker 6: stay after and do this and that, and here you
Speaker 6: go against me and is drill.
Speaker 7: So we can compete, and you know you better when.
Speaker 1: You competing, you know what I mean, no doubt.
Speaker 6: Obviously, you know everybody can do a workout by herself,
Speaker 6: but you know, when you have that person right next
Speaker 6: to you that wants the same things in life that
Speaker 6: you want and is willing to help you go get that,
Speaker 6: you should be able to help them go get what
Speaker 6: they want in life. So he's an awesome friend, and
Speaker 6: he's a he's having a great year.
Speaker 1: It's awesome.
Speaker 5: Last three games, everyone talks about the Rams and you
Speaker 5: know Pooka, Nikoa and Cooper Cub and Matthew step rightfully so,
Speaker 5: but the last three games he's run the ball twenty
Speaker 5: nine times, twenty nine times, twenty three times. Yeah, they're
Speaker 5: a run first offense in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Probably they get into eleven personnel
Speaker 1: right now, seventy seven percent at the time there are
Speaker 1: an eleven personnel. It's one of the reasons why they're
Speaker 1: tight ends.
Speaker 7: All of them.
Speaker 1: Block first, Yeah, block first, tight ends guys who can
Speaker 1: actually do it because they're gonna sling it. But they're
Speaker 1: gonna run it out of eleven personnel as well. Pistol
Speaker 1: shotgun under center. They're gonna run.
Speaker 5: It real quick. What's the best part about his game?
Speaker 5: If you could take one thing from Kan Williams game
Speaker 5: and put in your game, what would it be?
Speaker 1: Think about it?
Speaker 7: Stiff on, He gotta go stiff on. Yeah, he gotta
Speaker 7: go stiff on.
Speaker 5: Maybe you can demonstrate that on Wolf when we come back.
Speaker 5: It's the Big Red Rage, presented by Santane Fort and
Speaker 5: Gilbert live from Trophy and Chandler between Queen Creek Road.
Speaker 5: Grays and Dobson.
Speaker 3: Snapped to Murray pass play Murray with times fiers deep
Speaker 3: middle end zone for Harrison, and Harrison made the catch.
Speaker 3: Ben got his feet down for the touchdown. First NFL
Speaker 3: score for Marvin Harrison Junior, the first of many to come.
Speaker 4: Throw the tweaky into the toaster. Kyler Murray, Oh, my goodness,
Speaker 4: right on the money to Marvin Harrison Junior.
Speaker 3: Play action of boot to the right. Murray looking downfield,
Speaker 3: now loves it deep here side. Harrison caught it at
Speaker 3: the twenty, hit the ten. Harrison dies for the end zone.
Speaker 4: He's in touchdown, like a tear falling from your cheat, baby.
Speaker 4: That ball came straight down out of the sky. Kyler
Speaker 4: again drops a dime and Marvin Harrison Junior stretches out
Speaker 4: and the pig breaks the plane.
Speaker 1: Oh that is awesome.
Speaker 5: So that was Week two. Once upon a time when
Speaker 5: Marvin Harrison Junior had an entire game, an epic game.
Speaker 5: In the first quarter four for a buck thirty and
Speaker 5: two touchdowns, including that sixty yarder were a lunch for
Speaker 5: the pylon. That was just outstanding stuff. Cardinal's going to
Speaker 5: take on the Rams again, this time in the second
Speaker 5: to last game of the year. It is the Big
Speaker 5: Red Rage, presented by Santan forty Gilbert live from Trophy
Speaker 5: and Chandler and our special guest, Cardinals running back Michael Carter.
Speaker 5: And look, you're not that far removed from being a
Speaker 5: rookie yourself, So it was interesting Marvin Errison Junior, talking
Speaker 5: to the media earlier today, just ask him, you know,
Speaker 5: big picture, zoom out your entire rookie season. He said,
Speaker 5: you know, it's just the roller coaster ride you're on
Speaker 5: as a rookie. And he said, you know, that's been
Speaker 5: tough to get to get a handle on for himself
Speaker 5: because he's so used to being so dominant at the
Speaker 5: college level. Right, what would you tell him now that
Speaker 5: he's near on the end of his rookie year. What
Speaker 5: sort of advice would you give Marvin in the entire
Speaker 5: I mean, there was twelve rookies in this year's class.
Speaker 5: Well you tell the young.
Speaker 6: Guys, Yeah, that's a lot of rookies in one class.
Speaker 6: And you know, my I sit right next to Marvin
Speaker 6: team and we you know, I asked him, you know,
Speaker 6: I asked him what We were just talking to the other,
Speaker 6: just chatting, and you know, your rookie season is kind
Speaker 6: of a roller coas. I think he kind of described
Speaker 6: that perfectly, because you know, you're playing and chances are
Speaker 6: if you're talented rookie, you know, like Marvi is, you know,
Speaker 6: you on a on a maybe three four week stretch
Speaker 6: where you're just playing so good football, you know what
Speaker 6: I mean, And then you get the week twelve and
Speaker 6: then thirteen fourteen, and typically your college season will be
Speaker 6: over and you have seven more games left, six more
Speaker 6: games left, and so your mind is like the first
Speaker 6: time you're ever having to go through playing that many
Speaker 6: games in a year. And I feel like a lot
Speaker 6: of people don't even realize that because a college season
Speaker 6: without a ball game is twelve games. So fortunately enough
Speaker 6: for him, he was always going to the playoffs, so
Speaker 6: he played fourteen games and then but then on top
Speaker 6: of that, NFL you add three more games on top
Speaker 6: of that, and if you go to playoffs is eighteen nineteen.
Speaker 6: You know you win, you earn another game. But you know,
Speaker 6: I just one thing I'm learning for myself, not being
Speaker 6: a rookie, but learning myself. You know, it's all about
Speaker 6: consistency and having a routine, a daily one. So that's
Speaker 6: probably what I would tell him and the others, you know,
Speaker 6: try to develop some sort of consistency in your life.
Speaker 1: Michael, what about you your rookie year? What was it
Speaker 1: like for you? What was the hardest thing about being
Speaker 1: in the National Football League your rookie year.
Speaker 7: My rookie year was probably.
Speaker 1: Was it? Was it the scheme? No? Was it?
Speaker 7: The yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 6: Playbook was probably the easiest part because I wanted to
Speaker 6: learn it so bad.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you were in it, you were, yeah, ross.
Speaker 6: So deep into playbook. I feel like some points I
Speaker 6: could play quarterback. I can can and do all the
Speaker 6: type of other stuff.
Speaker 7: You know. The scheme is is not it's not a problem.
Speaker 6: It was being out like week one we played the
Speaker 6: Panthers and I look across the field and it's like,
Speaker 6: oh my gosh, that's Jack Thompson. Yeah, or like, oh
Speaker 6: my gosh, that's so and so, Like I remember we
Speaker 6: played uh when we played the Bucks. We played the
Speaker 6: Bucks my rookie year. And for those who are football fans.
Speaker 6: So that's the game that Antonio Brown takes his stuff off.
Speaker 1: That was that was your rookie year.
Speaker 7: Rookie year. That's my rookie year.
Speaker 6: So I'm like and mind you, I just I just
Speaker 6: got I'm in concussion protocol because I got hit and
Speaker 6: I had like.
Speaker 7: I had to look twice.
Speaker 6: I said, I know my head doesn't hurt that bad man,
Speaker 6: like the shirt on, you know what I mean. It's
Speaker 6: like the it's like football in the NFL is like
Speaker 6: not only football, but it's kind of like an entertainment
Speaker 6: deal and like a business. And that kind of bothered
Speaker 6: me to be to start my career because.
Speaker 7: It's like everyone cares the same way I care, like
Speaker 7: but control that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like, you know, it's almost like script like prog.
Speaker 7: It felt scripted.
Speaker 6: It felt scripted, but it's it's the juggling with the wow,
Speaker 6: I can't believe I'm here, and then all right, well
Speaker 6: I got a job to do, so let me let
Speaker 6: me perform. And then, just like I was saying earlier
Speaker 6: about like I went on like a three four week
Speaker 6: stretch as well where I probably led the league in
Speaker 6: total yards over three four weeks. And it's goes back
Speaker 6: to the routine where you don't want to get too
Speaker 6: high on the performance.
Speaker 7: If you don't play as well as you.
Speaker 6: Wanted to, you don't want to get too low on it.
Speaker 6: And then you just have to keep going and keep going.
Speaker 6: By a good friend, Elijah Moore says, you only lose
Speaker 6: if you quit. So that's that's the only thing like
Speaker 6: that that always sticks with me, Like even when I'm
Speaker 6: going through a hard time, so you just gotta get
Speaker 6: through it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I like that. I love my man. That's my guy.
Speaker 5: Give us a quick word on meeting Aaron Rodgers. You
Speaker 5: talk about being starstruck. What was it like when Aaron
Speaker 5: Rodgers joined the Jets.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I couldn't well, I thought it was propaganda news
Speaker 6: when we signed him, because I couldn't believe we got them,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. They talking about Derek Carr,
Speaker 6: Matt Stafford, we might sign whoever we actually got. We
Speaker 6: actually got the the goat, you know. Like growing up,
Speaker 6: I was a huge Aaron fan. Like that wasnt starstruck.
Speaker 6: I was nervous because I wanted to go well, because
Speaker 6: I wanted my quarterback to.
Speaker 7: Like me, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's always a good thing, you.
Speaker 6: Know, because you know your quarterback is fond of you.
Speaker 6: You will find you, He'll find you, and then everybody wins.
Speaker 6: So it was such a cool It was cool, and
Speaker 6: he was like, he's such a good teammate and people,
Speaker 6: you know, people may say he gets a bad rap
Speaker 6: for this and for that, and sometimes I was telling
Speaker 6: I was saying earlier that he's very misunderstood, but also
Speaker 6: he's kind of hard to understand. So but I mean,
Speaker 6: I think we're all going through our daily our daily
Speaker 6: journeys to fund himself. So he's an awesome teammate though,
Speaker 6: Like he's also awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome.
Speaker 7: Teammate, one of the best teamates I've ever had.
Speaker 5: Actually, well, you guys already played the Jets and Aaron
Speaker 5: Rodgers the In fact, it was Max Melton told us
Speaker 5: in this show when Aaron Rodgers came running too the
Speaker 5: Cardinals sideline, he.
Speaker 1: Was a starstruck.
Speaker 5: That was a little bit of a welcome to the
Speaker 5: NFL moment. But here's Marvin Arrison Junior just on the Rams.
Speaker 5: So you're gonna play next in their improvement since the
Speaker 5: first time you played.
Speaker 10: Them, I think early on, like a lot of teams,
Speaker 10: kind of trying to find your identity. So you're kind
Speaker 10: of doing a bunch of different things, trying to stare
Speaker 10: out what works, what doesn't work. Nanny kind of slidify
Speaker 10: and this is what we do really well, this is
Speaker 10: how we're trying to attack teams. Then, as I learned
Speaker 10: throughout the year as a division team, things are always
Speaker 10: a little different, and you kind of played division opponent,
Speaker 10: So I think that's.
Speaker 1: Probably the biggest difference. They slidfy what they really want
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 5: You know, they're one of the four teams that are
Speaker 5: actually younger than the Arizona Cardinals. They have a defense,
Speaker 5: I got a really young defense.
Speaker 1: Man. Tell me what you see on tape when you
Speaker 1: watch the Rams defense, I am. I am mesmerized with
Speaker 1: how many guys they have that are year three and
Speaker 1: under that are really playing well.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think they said in one of our meetings that
Speaker 6: they played like fifteen rookies.
Speaker 7: Wow. Wow, that's a lot. That's probably like record setting
Speaker 7: and stuff. So Verse Jared, I met Jared at the
Speaker 7: casino actually.
Speaker 5: Jared, Yeah, Well he's friends with Trey Benson.
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, so I'm supposed to link up with Tray
Speaker 6: in Miami and he's supposed to come train me. He
Speaker 6: leaves when I get there, and then I'm just left
Speaker 6: with Jared Verse, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: Like so, but but I met him. He's a great guy. Uh,
Speaker 7: he's a heck of a player.
Speaker 6: I don't know if it's the kid inside, but my
Speaker 6: mom happens to be a Florida State fan, so.
Speaker 7: I know a little bit about Florida State.
Speaker 6: So he's a he was a great player and all
Speaker 6: along with trade, you know you can Novale can think
Speaker 6: the portal for those guys.
Speaker 1: So no doubt.
Speaker 5: Well here's your offensive coordinator, Drew Petsyen on what he
Speaker 5: sees from the Rams defense.
Speaker 11: That front has. I mean, they had two first round
Speaker 11: rookies that are obviously playing at a really high level
Speaker 11: and have only gotten better as the season's gone on.
Speaker 11: They've gotten healthy. I think, like a lot of teams
Speaker 11: that make a late season push, I think they've kind
Speaker 11: of locked in on what they do well and how
Speaker 11: to protect it. So you certainly see that. But I
Speaker 11: think the effort and the energy really stands out with
Speaker 11: that front group as it did the first time we
Speaker 11: played them. I think they have the ability to wreck again, and.
Speaker 5: Then they have Kobe Turner, they have Byron Young though
Speaker 5: they were rookies last year, a year or two, those
Speaker 5: guys are really let me ask you just about the
Speaker 5: dynamic though of beating a team forty one to ten
Speaker 5: in week two. Now you turn around, you play them again,
Speaker 5: But it almost seems like last season that was so
Speaker 5: long ago. So I mean, how does that play into anything?
Speaker 5: And was there something that you guys did in week
Speaker 5: two that you know you're automatically gonna try again or
Speaker 5: are they so different one thing doesn't convey to in
Speaker 5: the next.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think when you're playing a team twice a year
Speaker 6: that you're always seeing and the rollovers.
Speaker 7: Kind of like minimal. You know, you're kind of seeing
Speaker 7: the same guys.
Speaker 6: You get familiar with your opponents and there's only so
Speaker 6: much you can do to try to trick somebody.
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
Speaker 6: So it's just about lining up and being more physical
Speaker 6: and running faster and trying to get a mental edge
Speaker 6: through the weekend things like that. Obviously they are different,
Speaker 6: They're gonna be a different team than when you play them,
Speaker 6: and what we you played them in week two? Yeah,
Speaker 6: put them too, But and you know, I don't think
Speaker 6: they had either one of the receivers playing on offense,
Speaker 6: so it's kind of it's gonna be easier to stop
Speaker 6: a team when you know they're missing that many guys
Speaker 6: that are focal points of their offense. So their defense,
Speaker 6: their defense is playing really good though right now. So
Speaker 6: and I think for them to start so front as
Speaker 6: it should though, you know what I mean, any good
Speaker 6: team is going to start up front on offense and.
Speaker 1: Trueball.
Speaker 6: And then that that's funny because it's like, you know,
Speaker 6: they try to take the run out of out of
Speaker 6: the game and the passwords league, and it's to be
Speaker 6: that it's always going to be run for his league
Speaker 6: with elite quarterbacks e lage quarterback play will get you
Speaker 6: over the hump.
Speaker 5: But I made the mistake of asking your head coach
Speaker 5: a question on his TV show this week. I said, coach,
Speaker 5: how often have you ever lost the line of scrimmage
